Does Joda Time allow parsing XML Schema type "xs:date" dates with explicit
time-zone specification, e.g. "2011-09-15Z" or "2011-09-15+02:00"?
I realize that this is a date format which is NOT supported by ISO-8601
(which would require a "T" to be specified, like "2011-09-15T+02:00".
An "unzoned" date may be parsed like so (assuming my local timezone is
+02:00):
Parsing in local timezone:
org.joda.time.format.ISODateTimeFormat.date().parseDateTime("2011-09-15").toString();
(java.lang.String) 2011-09-15T00:00:00.000+02:00
Parsing in Zulu timezone:
org.joda.time.format.ISODateTimeFormat.localDateParser().parseDateTime("2011-09-15").toString();
(java.lang.String) 2011-09-15T00:00:00.000Z
But I would really like to be able to parse *any* valid xs:date,
(e.g. "2011-09-15Z", "2011-09-15+02:00" and "2011-09-15") allowing me to
decide which "default" timezone to use for "unzoned" dates.
I could solve the problem using java.util.XmlGregorianCalendar (assuming my
local timezone is +02:00):
Parsing "unzoned" xs:date:
new org.joda.time.DateTime(
javax.xml.datatype.DatatypeFactory.newInstance().newXMLGregorianCalendar("2011-09-15").toGregorianCalendar()
).toString();
(java.lang.String) 2011-09-15T00:00:00.000+02:00
Parsing xs:date with explicit Zulu timezone:
new org.joda.time.DateTime(
javax.xml.datatype.DatatypeFactory.newInstance().newXMLGregorianCalendar("2011-09-15Z").toGregorianCalendar()
).toString();
(java.lang.String) 2011-09-15T00:00:00.000Z
Unfortunately, as the above example shows, XmlGregorianCalendar doesn't seem
to allow me to specify the "default" timezone, it simply parses an "unzoned"
xs:date in the local timezone defined by the runtime environment.
Any hints?
